La Collection Rive Gauche Pour Homme Yves Saint Laurent for men

Again the main theme is so near to illustrate and memorize the original Rive Gauche but in detail the notes are a little different that you're the only one who know cause it must be studied from near. It's less green, less wet and more floral. Yet premium and successful definitely as YSL has so much followers.

Totally agree with THOR. This isn't the rive gauche that I used to know...
My dearest signature scent is gone 4ever...people beware, the original is much much better!!
Shame on you YSL !!

ALAS !!! 'THE' Rive Gauche Pour Homme that i knew and adored has been castrated. A crying shame !! I'm so bloody disappointed. The same applies to M7.

I seriously gotta get me self at least 2 full bottles of the original juice (its already getting scarce). I don't want to say anything else.

Oh! Just one more thing - UP YOURS YSL La Collection !!

Smells like a woman fragrance. A lot of Geranium inside with Lavender.That's it. I couldn't smell anything else. I would go with M7 in this range.

Judging by the reviews this is apparently a toned down reformulation. If that's the case then I can only wonder at the power and intensity the old Rive Gauche Pour Homme must have had. I find this version powerful and masculine, very much a power perfume. Only for the confident.

Excellent sillage and tremendous longevity. Worth adding to your collection even if you don't wear it often.

i have test it side by side with the original,it is toned down,still the same smell like the old but more soft..
my advice..stock up the old legent..

All i can say for this is: muted. No silage no longevity. Loreal killed what Tom Ford had masterfully created. bad news...and ugly ugly ugly bottles.

I like to think they've recognized the potential in Rive Gauche to be a modern scent, and figured taking out the notes that held the old school face and gave it youth. But I wot know til I try it I guess

Wow is it YSL or cheap D&G?
Shame!

@K1
Well, it seems we think the the same about YSL which is very sad :(
YSL used to be my favourite brand with bold, brave and uncompromising but still very popular fragrances.
But now... Elle, Parisienne, Belle d'Opium, L'homme x3, they make safe choices.
I still like the brand but ONLY for its old catalogue (Opium, Kouros, Jazz, Paris, M7, NU, Opium PH, Rive Gauche).
It's the same with Rochas, but that house has a much worse destiny :(

@Endymion
I don't believe it; again? I think I'm going out of interest in YSL.
After that ridiculous l'Homme series, this line can be disappointing and I was just hopeful about it.
Yet, I must try it. But it's not doubtful that even YSL launch disgracefully.

Oh my precious! :(
I have to stock you up in your fine striped metal bottle!

Rive Gauche Pour Homme without its saturine power. Toned down and mannered.
